The Sidewalk Inspection and Minor Repair Program provides a systemic approach to sidewalk maintenance, allowing sensible and efficient use of city resources in the upkeep of sidewalks. By identifying areas needing improvement, prioritizing, and tracking repairs, Public Works can better provide for pedestrian safety and reduce liability for trip and fall incidents. Once a sidewalk area needing repair or improvement has been classified, it will then be prioritized based on its condition and location. Areas of high pedestrian volume, or near transit stations, high-volume bus stops, elderly housing, senior centers, or schools are considered to be areas of particular sensitivity. They are therefore given higher priority for repair.

If you notice an area in need of repair, please contact City Hall at 668-2040, ext. 323 or email awilliamson@debary.org. Thank you.
